Officials: Fort Mohave inmate dies

KINGMAN, Ariz. -- A Fort Mohave man convicted and sentenced this summer to
more than two decades behind bars in an aggravated assault case has died.

The Mohave Valley Daily News reports that 67-year-old
John Henry McLean died last week at the University Medical Center in Tucson from
apparent natural causes. Officials said he was admitted to the hospital eight
days earlier.

McLean was convicted June 6 in Mohave County of two counts of aggravated
assault, disorderly conduct with a weapon and two misdemeanor driving under the
influence charges. He was sentenced a month later to 21 years in prison for the
aggravated assault charges.

At sentencing, the judge denied a request to postpone the sentencing so McLean
could be released for surgery to take care of an aneurism.
